The promise of e-mail authentication is too good to ignore, but if it is implemented incorrectly it will break a company's mail system instead of fixing it, experts have cautioned.
At the start of last year, Bill Gates told the world's elite at an annual conference in Davos, Switzerland, that the problem of spam would be solved in two years.
An anti-spam technology that focuses on identifying forged e-mail addresses has been proposed as a standard by Cisco, Yahoo and partners.
